I'm happy to report that we've made some decisions as a family, and are now in a WAY better space. The biggest thing for me is that I have left my part time job in the city. When I made this decision it literally felt like a massive weight was lifted from me. I continue to manage our band The Dreamboats and have since started doing marketing for my gym from home; I can't actually slow down that much, but I'm so much more chilled out and content.
Life is flying by, and when I look back on my time as a young mum, I don't want to regret that I didn't spend more time picking daisies and reading books.
We've also had another series of incidents which have shaken our family and helped us to realign our priorities. Sam has been reacting to something unknown, which has had him rushed to hospital in an ambulance twice over the last two months. The most recent incident was easily the worst experience of my life: seeing my huge, capable husband completely disappear and slip away from me has left me in a bit of a state of shock.

While we are doing everything we can to work out what is triggering this anaphylaxis, we're at the whim of the public health system and have to tread very carefully. It makes things like sorting out our wills and life insurance far more of a priority. More importantly, though, it makes you appreciate what you have now, and helps to get your priorities back in check.
Life is short, and people are more important than anything else.
